Guides the user to assign each argument required for a movement design workflow, including species label and key simulation settings. Users may choose to set a specific population sample size (number of animals tagged/to be tagged) or optimize the population sample size considering a specific analytical target.
Arguments
- data
A named list of telemetry objects (from
ctmm::as.telemetry()) to be used as the empirical basis for the simulations. Each telemetry object must contain valid metadata and timestamped locations.- models
(Optional) Named list of fitted ctmm models (from
ctmm::ctmm.fit()orctmm::ctmm.select()). If not supplied, models are fitted automatically.
Value
An object of class movedesign_input (and movedesign). This is
a structured S3 list containing all validated inputs, model fits,
and derived parameters for the study design workflow.
Details
The argument data is required and must be supplied directly (as
a list of telemetry objects, obtained from ctmm::as.telemetry()).
The argument models is optional, and if omitted, models will be
fitted automatically.
Examples
if(interactive()) {
data(buffalo)
md_params <- md_configure(data = buffalo)
}
